Stable Diffusion, NovelAI, Machine Learning Art - AI art generation discussion and image dump

[Looney Troons]

Do you mind if you share some of your tips/generated images? I'm pretty sure many of us are interested in generating hellscapes from doodles/words (I think I'm in the minority in that I want to use this for fantastical landscapes more than anime booba). Curious what parameters and input worked best for you and all that.

It's only 28 pages in, but I feel like this is turning into a great little mini-art community. Happy to be a part of it.

Biggest tip I can offer if to read through all of the FAQ and hints pages listed on the download site. Even though a lot of the examples provided are to generate anime-related things, most of the knowledge gleaned can be used elsewhere.

Some really helpful things off the bat: Things in (((parentheses))) receive more weight upon image generation, things in [[[brackets]]] receive less. I never know what to put in the negative prompt, so I’ll generate a baseline and then nitpick it to get rid of what I don’t like. There’s usually some colors I feel out of place, text, etc. Be verbose, but not limiting or wordy. Always use ‘masterpiece’ and ‘best quality’ in your positive prompts. I honestly haven’t generated an image that didn’t benefit from it. Find an image you really like and save that seed - probably the best bit of advice I can give alongside learning how to manipulate images further using img2img and inpainting. There’s a nice tutorial on inpainting on the “links” portion of the download page.

Here’s some stuff I’ve generated that I think looks cool. Fleshy, infested, and bloodied space station-type shit. Not sure how or why I got here, but it was so much fun, and cool, to generate these.

You see how shitty it turns out when you try to make it create something that isn't a half naked anime girl of about 12 years old? Cause this AI has a very clear and obvious purpose and has been fed very specific source material.

It took a little while to figure out ducks, but it DID get there eventually.

I hate you guys so much for this because now I'm hooked to making weird shit with it. Damnit.

It is kinda addictive, I put it aside lately but this thread got me generatin' for hours.


(what can I say, I love kitsch)

 

[Tangie]

Imagine this blended with AE

 

[NoReturn]

We should make a thread where people input the random.txt from the site into AI and then post the results

“THIS IS A VIOLATION OF ETHNIC STANDERS!”

>Pensacola will be cleansed of the Josh vermin<

“OBVIOUSLY this ended in a late night call to the Trans Lifeline.”

”They gave me a dose for schizophrenia, but I'm not schizo.”'

”Why am I on kiwifarms again? Oh against my will, that's right.”

”Its amazing you all laugh at furries and accept gays. Both are deviations from the norm. Apparently tolerance is arbitrary.”

”The stupid bitch can't even set the house on fire. She cant even do that right.”


And my personal favorite...
“THAT'S NOT A PRANK, THAT'S INCEST YOU FUCKING HILLBILLY CHICKEN”

 

[yydszmiteg2]

Absolutely incredible at making creepy shit (I have terrifying spider clowns and twisted forests for days):

"Hasan Piker I'm coming to kill you!"
"In the ring?"
"No in his nightmares."

This is my kind of party.
Porn? Never heard of it. I'm here to build cities on fantasy planets.

I’m an art school dropout wastoid and all the doomposting in this thread is giving me flashbacks to the countless year-one “What IS art?“ navel-gazing discussions they forced upon us.

Short of the singularity, roboart isn’t going to be comparable to human-made art in any way. Why? Because “ART” is something uniquely human. Art is a reaction to the human condition, the first cave paintings were not merely records of hunts, but early attempts at storytelling. What WILL happen with all the AI stuff is that we are going to redefine what we consider art. We are already doing this, in terms of the value we put on various types of art already. Cheap anime commissions, pin-up art, like already has been said in the thread, these types of art will be reduced to just commodity.

When the pandemic hit my town, it was experiencing a restaurant boom. Almost overnight, I would say 80% of the new restaurants had to close. I was sympathetic, but really: Not everyone needs to run a restaurant. There were more restaurants in town than people to eat in them. (Seriously, who needs 3 poki restaurants on the same block???) If you can’t afford to pay your rent, source your food, and pay your staff: sorry, no restaurant for you.

I look at this the same way. Is it going to hurt the careers of a lot of mid-tier redundant artists? Yes. Sorry not sorry Sakimi-Chan, I was envious of your grift but you had a good long run. Not everyone gets to be an artist and that’s not just my bitter drop-out ass talking. Being an artist is possible only in a society that can afford luxuries. We’re rapidly heading to a time where that is not possible. You can still be an artist yes, that is not being taken away from you. You will just be living more of a Van Gogh life than a Claude Monet one.

Sorry for the sperg. I think AI art is overall a good thing for the art world, like flushing an old shit that has been sitting in the toilet for just too long.

Top tier artists are gonna create their own works and machine it for unique results, they are not fucking retards who will refuse to interface with new technology; It's a new form of computer arts.

 

[WhatIsThePunchline]

I wonder what InspiroBot thinks of all this?

Goes to https://inspirobot.me/

Generates an image


First result.

 

[Crungass]

The A.I overlords don't seem so bad once you realize they're also putting porn artists out of work too.

 

[Phalanges Mycologist]

That picture put me in mind of that.

Maybe I’m going crazy, but people saying this will be a giant era-changing development sort of said the same thing about 3D printers (particularly being able to 3D print guns). Now 3D printers are out of the spotlight and barely discussed in MSM despite the massive promises hey have/had.

How does this relate and differ to 3D printers and us entering the “machine age”? Will this really be big or will it fade into the bg like 3D printing?

I think that's because to make a good useable print for anything but toys it costs a lot and it's still shit compared to what can be made by other more accessible methods, I've noticed a lot of people are getting rid of the printers now that the novelty has worn off and these are people who own and run manufacturing or proto typing companies - 3D printing has prommise but we're a looooooong way off from it being a household or common place thing.

 

[SevenEightNine]

It's being refined.

 

[Inspector Rex]

Can someone try to generate some B/W clip art? Can it draw clean simple lines?

At some point someone is going to train this thing to draw UIs, and that's when graphical designers should start worrying.

First graders can draw a better duck than that.

FPS' make great landscape pieces

Which program did you use to get that?

My new pc can propably run this. And the anime one too.

 

[Faggitory]

First graders can draw a better duck than that.

Artistically speaking, that's a great duck. Its anatomy is wrong, as it has no bottom jaw and its foot looks like a suction cup, but if I drew a duck like that and said "that's just how I stylized it", no one would even look twice. The jaw doesn't even have to be drawn until I open its mouth.

I have seen a lot of bog-standard anime twitartists freaking out about this being used to steal their work. I’ll see if I can find the post I saw, but essentially an artist was live-streaming, someone took a screen cap of their WIP, ran it through an AI, posted it, and THEN started harassing the artist to stop copying them. It was pretty wild tbh.

But that poses an entirely different issue: People being retarded about their IP & ignorant about how the internet generally functions.

If you put content on the internet, it will be stolen. Fact.

Every single girl with an OnlyFans discovered this the very first time they posted their nudes only to have them grabbed by bots and spread to 10,000 porn mirror sites in the split-second it took them to regret their new career in porn.

Even physical media is not immune to this. Even established artists have things like figurine sculpts, enamel pin designs, etc stolen and bootlegged to hell and back. All it takes is one unscrupulous manufacturer, and they’re pretty much all unscrupulous.

Kinda getting off topic but I remember the days when artist alleys were full of mostly amateur level artists selling zines and home-made shrinkydink charms. Before alibaba made it easy to produce pretty much any quantity of any useless plastic thing. This mid-tier fanart-drawing artist-alley career was a bubble, and one long past bursting.
